History
Kruger National Park was formally proclaimed in 1898 and named for President Paul Kruger; its protection has been central to South Africa’s conservation legacy.
Conservation
Visitors must adhere to park rules—staying in vehicles, disposing of waste properly, and following guides’ instructions helps reduce disturbance and supports long-term protection.

Bring binoculars
A good pair of binoculars lets you scan riverbanks and treetops without disturbing animals; 8x42 is a practical choice.
Layer for temperature swings
Mornings can be chilly while afternoons warm quickly — pack a warm jacket and a breathable mid-layer.
Stay in the vehicle
Always follow your ranger’s instructions and remain inside the open 4x4 unless a guide says otherwise to avoid dangerous encounters.
